'Dew of Hermon', is taken from a line in Psalm 133. The writer of that ancient song enthused about how good it is when people live together in unity,and compares it poetically to the dew of Hermon descending upon the mountains of Zion. In that spirit it is hoped these scribblings will be more refreshing mountain dew, than obscurantist valley fog, where a weary Pilgrim might be refreshed and replenished for the journey ahead.

Its a pity people don't want to research their subject matter. How come you didn't cover this incest case in IRELAND? And surprise, surprise it was a woman who destroyed the lives of her children. Are you afraid of the truth? Or do you prefer having Tony telling you how good your poems are?

I dont understand why you think that I deliberately did not comment on this story, there are many stories that I never get around to commenting on. In fact the horrific case you mention was widely publicised and commented on in the mainstream media, I suppose the Fritzyl story had greater impact because of the fact we saw the face of the perpetrator. I can assure you there is no hidden agenda here and as for Tony liking 'my' poetry, he is not alone in appreciating Wordsworths piece on the daffodils. I have witheld some of your submitted comments because of their length, some of them running to over 10 pages and also the ethos of the Dew of Hermon (as the name suggests) is to provide a unifying forum based on the Gospel message.Can I suggest with such an abundance of material you might join the 'blogging' fraternity, I for one would be very interested in the result. Thanks for joinung in.
